      It's definitely getting worse. I know they're trying to focus on the characters instead of the zombies, but unless you're amazed by Joel and Ellie's relationship there isn't anyone else to be attached to since they either die or disappear by the end of one maybe two episodes tops.

      IKR! Finally a genuine criticism of the show. As someone who loves the game and has played it countless times (including the sequel) this series is a travesty and I'm really just watching it now for the occasional thing they get right. I loved the clicker sequence because it reminded me of my first few runs of the game. This show is making me do something that I never have before, and that's listen to the show's "making of" section at the end of each episode. I really am curious about the decisions they made, but hearing their choices just pisses me off more at how much they have distorted the original elements of the game. When Craig Mazin says, "Sarah cried when Joel killed infected, but Ellie LIKES IT when Joel kills for her," I was appalled. Then this most recent episode, Druckmann basically says that they never personified the hunters in the game, who were essentially just an "obstacle" to the player. So all of the notes, artifacts, graffiti, destroyed vehicles, and old war zones that I see in the Pittsburgh section of the game mean nothing to the overall story? Or are they trying to say that the Kansas City QZ's story was never told? If that's the case, why even include the truck ambush if it literally has nothing to do with this community's behavior and practices? So far this show has made a mockery of a game that is pretty damn good. Sorry for the long comment, I have literally had no outlet to voice my opinions on this game as I'm the only one in my friend group who watches it or has played TLOU.

      Seriously, you can't tell me they couldn't have found someone who looked more like Ellie if they wanted. And the same goes for Joel for that matter. I can't tell which got the worst casting really, it's like they didn't even try to find people who were close to the original game designs. But the real problem is that they didn't just cast different looking actors, they cast worse looking actors. A sidegrade I could have dealt with, but this casting is all downgrade.
      I'd be disappointed, if not for the fact that literally every movie/series/etc ever that was based on a video game has been between somewhere between not all that great and absolutely terrible, so I've long since learned to set my expectations extremely low when it comes to any video game adaptations.

  • @rickymortinson1918
    @rickymortinson1918 Год назад +21

    The thing about Ellie’s character design is that her classic American girl good looks gave her an immediate sympathy from the fans. Shes adorable and aggressive and a really easy character to believe could be real.
    Bella Ramsey brings none of this to the tv show. The casting of both Ellie and Joel were crucial to making this show a success in the eyes of the gamers that love the lore. The fans spoke and were ignored. This is just another woke piece of garbage designed to slip a bitter pill of twisted ideology into a spoon full of the honey we already developed a taste for. I wish they would just make fresh new garbage instead of strangleing our good memories in front of us over and over again.

    • @Jonny-eu7le
      @Jonny-eu7le Год назад +5

      I think they chose Bella because she's part of the lgbtq crowd. The most important thing about this show was to cast Ellie correctly. Looks matter. Race matters. If it doesn't matter than just cast ellie as Opra or Whoopi Goldberg

    • @RynJck

  • @AudreyTheArtist321
    @AudreyTheArtist321 Год назад +11

    I agree, the show rushes important stuff and spends way to much time for things that don't matter. The story of the game is focused on Joel and Ellie's relationship. Everything that happens in the game is either there to grow their relationship and our relationship to the characters, or progress them toward their goal. Everything in the game is necessary. In the show however, they spent full episodes on things that barely have Joel and Ellie together and that serve no purpose. Like Frank and Bill and that lady in the city, they give their stories only to kill them off without having any purpose (A kill with purpose is Henry and Sam for context). We don't feel closer Ellie or Joel, and neither does it move the plot forward. They spend a bunch of time on those things (like Bill and Frank's episode which was nearly a hour! ) and then don't give us time to fully connect with Joel and Ellie. And I think that's why many people still don't like Bella Ramsey as Ellie. She did a fantastic job in the episode with the christian cannibal, maybe if they repurposed that time we could've seen more of Bella's Ellie. In the game, when Marlene told me that Ellie would die, I was right with Joel and saying "HELL NO." In the show I just don't care, and I think that's why many who play the game dislike the show.

    Also: I *used* to be a vocal queer ally. Things like this are the reason I no longer want to associate with such things. I'd rather just stay out of the politics.

    I liked Henry and Sam in the game - it was a believable pair that someone would encounter if traversing across the country 20 years after a zombie cataclysm. Cannot stand their characters in the show. A deaf kid with leukemia.... but most medical establishments are completely useless.... but somehow with scarce resources they were able to diagnose him.... in a post apocalyptic world where survival of the fittest is paramount to survival of the species. It was absolutely put in for identity politics for some nonsensical reason that doesn't fit the world TLOU is set in. Nothing against the actor, nothing against those with disabilities... but seriously, for a kid born probably 7 to 10 years after the collapse of civilization, who is unable to hear an approach of danger, who is seriously ill... is not going to survive, is not going to be seen as worth saving in a cutthroat society. They did a disservice to the actor, in my opinion, by using him for oppression points. Bella Ramsey's acting is okay, though I'm not sure if she was the right choice for this particular role (if the part had stayed true to the original Ellie), but it seems the trendy gender fluid club among brainwashed youth is the hot ticket right now. People seem to be worshipping her over that more than anything, thinking she can do no wrong.

    Honestly TLOU was completely derivative in the first place. Its only truly original concept was the fungal nature of the infection. Otherwise it was just a well-written retreading of established genre tropes and character archetypes, and ones that had already been explored recently by Telltale's The Walking Dead game. TLOU was slightly more of a traditional game than TWD in terms of actual gameplay, but its cinematic artstyle was what really set it apart. There were very understated treatments of certain alternative lifestyles that worked seemlessly with the central surrogate family story of Joel and Ellie's relationship, but the ideology didn't start to fully take over until later with Left Behind DLC.

    Conditioning the audience to stomach the garbage that was part 2 or will be season 2. By changing the very characters themselves and story from part 1. Just stop HBO, I dont want to see the franchise die a second time. Or even worse becoming a unrecognizable walking corpse that follows political agendas.
    Changing characters doesnt mean Joels daughter, that wasn't an issue at all. The change Im talking about is how Joel breaks down infront of his brother and asks him to take ellie off his hands after being told that he has a daughter on the way. Why would Joel ask that of his brother while he himself is haunted by the past of losing his daughter in a broken world. That goes against Joels character entirely. Joel is also made out to be a scared character who cannot handle the weight of his current responsibility. Joel in the game was stoic mostly no matter what situation arised, until you bring up his daughter. Yes, in the OG game he was flawed and pushed ellie away from fear of losing another daughter figure. But the HBO "Jo-el" is not the main protagonist from the original game. They are doing all they can to tarnish the name "Last of us" for the fans who remember the series in its former glory when it had a phenomenal cohesive story and characters that all felt genuine and that were not pushed onto the audience for an alternative agenda that completely contradicts and destroys the naughty dogs original LOU narrative.

    Saying the show is rushing through the events of the first game is an understatement. The show is butchering the first game while attempting to put the awful sequel's plot on a more stable foundation. It's just plain depressing after the first episode. Necrophilia? Direct quotes from Druckmann himself saying he wanted to trick people into watching a gay romance? Yeah no.
    Yet if you criticize any aspect of the show you're labeled a trans/homophobe by the bots. Tremendous. Makes me even more glad I stopped watching TV over a decade ago. The one time I cave and give a show a look? Identity politics up the ass while only detracting from the original experience. Progressive, this ain't.

    I honestly didn't make it through the second game. I loved the first one so much and really wanted the second one to be great but just meh, didn't enjoy the story or anything. I didn't mind that Ellie was gay, not a big deal, just wasn't thrilled with where they went with the game when compared to the first. As for the show, I don't care who they gay-ify or do a race change on, but when they screw with the story and setting so badly that it's unrecognizable, that's where I draw the line. I can ignore the agendas for the most part if they're not too obtrusive. If it's a black show, there's always going to be a racist white cop or similar authority figure, just as an example. It's almost expected at this point. But why are all of these agendas in a show about surviving in a post-apocalyptic setting? What pronoun you're being addressed by, or anything of that nature, shouldn't be your focus in moments like that.

I mean, your experience of The Last of Us has been ruined be you can't just take a breath and move on. While the other half of the fandom is celebrating and having fun (maybe sobbing over having to see Sarah's death again), you're just stuck being angry for the sake of being angry...

      @@UncensoredScion I am saying he isnt correct because he doesnt know much of it yet, he needs to see the show then say his opinion, he is doing the opposite
      1- They did not remove the majority of the violence, they said they removed some of the violence because of some gameplay parts are not good for TV, There is still violence, and even the people who watched some of the episodes and i know some of my friends who did, said that violence is still there, just not as much as the game, and that makes sense because while the game big part is its great story, it is also considered a game so they have gameplay, but they removed some of it because not all of it will make sense for a TV Show.
      2- I dont know what you mean by changed the entire meaning of the serious and closed off buildings? you need to explain a bit more.
      3- there is 9 Episodes, not 10, Episode 3 is going to be mainly Bill's episode, but Ellie and Joel are still in the episode, its not like its going to be the FULL episode for his character, they are still in it, Episode 3 is 80 minutes long.
      4- I personally know alot about the story, and id say they actually improved some stuff over the game, and alot of people said the same thing, they said there are stuff in the show, that they WISHED it was in the game, also some of those things and almost all of those things were ORIGINALLY written for the first game, but they couldnt make it into the game either because of budget or time, that is why its in the show, as they can finally add those things.
      5- I just enjoyed the game in general, I really liked the gameplay, the action all of that, I also really like some moments in the game, ofcourse there are moments I dislike or hope it would have done differently, but over all i enjoyed it, TLOU Part 1 is my favorite game ever, I did also enjoy Part 2 but not so much that its my second favorite game, i just enjoyed it.
      Again the reason I brought up Part 2 is just to tell him that he is not supposed to judge a show before seeing it, and i think thats common sense. Ofcourse I was skeptical about it at first, but knowing everything that i know now, its probably the best Live Action Adaptation.
